Kanazawa Guesthouse Stella - Hostel

I appreciated our welcoming host and his recommendations.

Shuji-san is an amazing host. He received us when we checked in and gave us tips for tourists in Kanazawa. Everything he reccomended was very enjoyable. Also, he is very kind and easy to talk to. The guesthouse is impecable. Everything is clean and neatly organized. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The bathrooms and showers were also very clean. The house is located within Kanazawa Geisha district with beatiful houses and cafes. Nothing.

Prior to my arrival, Shuji-san was exceptionally informative about any questions I had. Once I made it to the guest house, there were so many recommendations shared, as well lengthy details about what to do around the area. I was fortunate enough to be the only guest on my second day there which, as a solo traveler, was wonderful. I have to say, during my 12 days in Japan, this was my favorite place to stay. Shuji-san is a wonderful person who spreads kindness with every step he takes. The generosity he exudes isn’t an act, I can truly feel that is who he is. I’m so grateful for the time I was there. I’m also thankful for him because he extended a ride for me to the next town since it wasn’t far. This is something I will always remember from my trip. If you choose to stay here, you’re going to find peace and happiness during your stay. I did have a big suitcase so it did take up a lot of space in my room, but if I have to be honest. That really didn’t bother me because my experience was AMAZING.

It was a great location, amazing price for the value, the host was very kind and welcoming. Our room had a slight smell to it, maybe because it was next to the bathroom? But that is the only critique.

The host of Guesthouse Stella was so lovely! He gave us lots of useful information when we arrived on the best places to go and how to get around given the heavy snow. He pointed out the best walking routes, best places to eat, most delicious coffee and sights to see. He helped us navigate a bus tour of Shirakawago, which we highly recommend, it was excellent and well worth it. Guesthouse Stella was well equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The amenities were super clean and the beds were very comfortable. The location is excellent and walking distance to many of the attractions. The fact that the guesthouse and surrounding streets were covered in snow added to the charm. We had excellent heating and were super warm during our stay. Everything was perfect. The only thing we didn't anticipate was the heavy snow however this added to the adventure and charm of staying in Kanazawa. It was so much fun!!

Amazing hospitality by the landlord and staff. Everyone was super friendly and only made my time in Kanazawa better :)

It was so nice meeting Shuji, he is such a lovely host and very thoughtful. The guesthouse is in a great location, and very well kept! I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank-you for everything.

The host and the staff were so nice to us, giving us lots of tips and making sure everything was fine. The check-in was super smooth and the stay very quiet and calm Shower was hot, the kitchen well-equipped and the room and beds comfortable

Good location, easy check in, the owners/house keepers are nice and the kitchen area was nice. I was happy to have a safe, warm place to sleep. Unfortunately the house reeked of cat dander/pee, especially the second floor where my room was located. Also the room is teeny tiny, so small you can barely get dressed there. And the bathroom on the second floor does not have a sink, so you have to go downstairs to wash your hands. I can deal with most of these things, but the smell is inexcusable. The people running the house were very nice, but please do something about the cat smell.

The staff were so welcoming and helpful, you wouldn't even need to plan your Kanazawa trip if you were there for a day or two as they tell you pretty much everything to see. Really nice showers and toilets, and comfy beds as well! Oh and the location is ideal!

The property is conveniently located in the beautiful Higashi Chaya district. It was clean, and the separate bathrooms for women was greatly appreciated. The host Shuji was very kind and provided lots of great recommendations for my short stay in Kanazawa. Nothing.

The location in google points to a shop in front. The actual house is behind the shop.

It's a beautiful little guest house in the old district. Right away we felt like at home. The owner is so kind he told us very great tips about our trip. The room is very small but the beds are comfy and common spaces are spacious and harmonious. I recommend this guest house for sure. Very good value.

We had a wonderful stay at Guesthouse Stella thanks to our amazing host Shuji san, the set up at the guesthouse (beautifully decorated, clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable and cozy bedding) which was incredibly clean and in a fantastic location. Thanks to Shuji for his kindness and helpfulness and welcoming us to Kanazawa. We had a great stay.

The host was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There's a nice kitchen with complementary coffee and tea. A very hospitable atmosphere.

Great place to stay while in Kanazawa. We had a great time, the house is really nice, clean and quiet. Well located in a nice walking district. The host is really nice and friendly, making sure everything is good for us and providing some very good advices during our stay there and even afterwards.

Good location, affordable, best value for money of our trip.

Wonderful guesthouse in the heart of the Higashi Chaya district. Kanazawa is a very walkable city and we loved staying in this historical part of town. The bds were comfortable, the property spotless, and our guest was extremely helpful and had many suggestions. Would definitely recommend!

Comfy beds, great kitchen, and fabulous host. Felt very at home here.

Lounge room with several facilitaire (coffee/tea) and nice host
